As the scarlet fever in the beginning did not appear violent, and the throat not very sore, it was treated with the usual evacuants and saline draughts. The complaint, however, shortly assuming a worse character, bark, acids, and occasional opiates were administered, as freely as they The weather of late has been re- could be taken, and proved decimarkably wet, and considerable dedly beneficial.

THE dry weather in the early part of last month, impeded the wheatsowing upon clover lay, and bean and pea eshes; but the fallows have worked most kindly, the soil having a good time, according to the farmer's phrase, to settle. The new wheats yield abundantly, even on those soils that were slightly touched by the mildew; these wheats are small and steelly, but yield an average crop. the pod tribe, are of fine quality, and yield more than for several years past: they have received less injury from the maggot than is customary.
